Michael Drout at Wormtalk and Slugspeak has had some really interesting posts lately on Tolkien's use of language -- obviously more "medievalism" than medieval, and more literary than historical, but a start. And I think Scott Kleinman responded both there and at his own blog, Mern Thonke. Drout's most recent post is on the connections between "geek culture" and scholarship, with a concentration on medieval scholarship; that might also fit under the Carnivalesque rubric. (Don't have the URLs handy -- but search Drout's blog's title and you'll find it.)
